TGEA 1.7.0 Beta 1 Bug - MessageBoxOk not displaying properly

Here's an interesting one. MessageBoxOk doesn't seem to be displaying properly in widescreen resolutions while in fullscreen, or at least in the case I've come across. If a MessageBoxOk pops up while in this configuration the MessageBox doesn't display immediately and you have to alt-tab out and back in to click away it's message and continue on.
To reproduce:
1) Go into options
2) Select a widescreen resolution
confirmed resolutions
- 320x200
- 960x600
- 1280x960
- 1600x900
- 1680x1050
- 1360x765
- 1440x900
3) Check the fullscreen box
4) Click apply
5) Set Texture Quality to Force High
6) At this point you should be unable to click on anything on the screen due to a pair of MessageBoxes being triggered and their not being in focus.
7) Alt-tab out and back in, the first MessageBox should now be displayed and you should now able to click through it and the following one to continue with your session.
It's occurred to me that since the MessageBoxes are done through Windows that this could a bug with Windows itself.

I ran through all the resolutions listed and the MessageBox popped up correctly each time. That is definitely a squashed bug.
Don't forget to wipe your feet, you don't want to get it on the carpet. ;)

Stupid connection error. Maybe the post will go through this time.I ran through all the resolutions listed and the MessageBox popped up correctly each time. That is definitely a squashed bug.
